ӰƵ Members Speak at the Geneva Association's 2025 PROGRES
The Geneva Association held its 2025 Programme on Regulation and Supervision (PROGRES) on Sept. 16–17 in Singapore.
The event explored how insurance regulatory and supervisory frameworks can adapt to today's complex global environment and featured discussions on issues related to disaster resilience, longevity and cyber risks, and financial inclusion.
During the event, Iowa Insurance Division Commissioner Doug Ommen participated on a “Harmonising Regulation in a Fragmented World” panel, and New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance Commissioner Justin Zimmerman, co-vice chair of the ӰƵ's International Insurance Relations (G) Committee, co-facilitated a breakout session on cyber risk exposure.

About the ӰƵ
As part of our state-based system of insurance regulation in the United States, the ӰƵ (ӰƵ) provides expertise, data, and analysis for insurance commissioners to effectively regulate the industry and protect consumers. The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the ӰƵ, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. ӰƵ staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
